thank you very much.

Unlike, what does one do with that script ? how is it used ?
5:13 pm
mivona

copy and paste it into the URL box of the browser, and it fills in all the possible greens for the grid. Perfect when you have a bunged up head cold and are incapable of thinking.
5:13 pm
mivona

or when you just need a break.
5:14 pm
Montreal13

tx mivona - will have to try it with a togh "medium" !! - thx again
5:17 pm
Montreal13

just tried it on my almost completed grid - worked like a charm - tx Unlike and mivona !
5:19 pm
mivona

It is handy, but I prefer to use it sparingly. As you fill in numbers and run the script again, it adjusts, removing the unnecessary pencilmarks
5:20 pm
Montreal13

that's what i intend to do as well - will try it again with only about 8 squares to fill...
5:20 pm
abmoraz

done, ng
5:21 pm
Montreal13

works !! - will keep it for special cases...
5:26 pm
mivona

If you create a bookmark with the javascript put into the location, it makes it easier to run. No cutting and pasting needed after that.
5:27 pm
Montreal13

would the script precede or follow the actual iron-sudoku url location ?
5:27 pm
abmoraz

neither, montreal
5:28 pm
abmoraz

when you're working on a puzzle, just put it in the URL field, all by itself
5:28 pm
Montreal13

not familiar with bookmarks is what i'm saying...sorry
5:28 pm
abmoraz

and hit the "go" or "open url" button
5:28 pm
Montreal13

ahhh okay ! tx
5:29 pm
abmoraz

For firefox: rightclick on the bookmark toolbar, select "new bookmark"
5:29 pm
abmoraz

in the "name" field, type "autoGreens"
5:29 pm
abmoraz

in the "location" field, paste in the code
5:30 pm
abmoraz

For Internet Explorer, go to Start->Control Panel->Add/remove programs
5:30 pm
Montreal13

will this work for explorer ?
5:30 pm
abmoraz

remove Internet explorer
5:30 pm
abmoraz

download firefox and install ;)
5:30 pm
Montreal13

LOLOL !
5:31 pm
abmoraz

I assume so. i use Linux, so I can't say for sure
5:31 pm
abmoraz

as long as javascript is enabled on IE, it should work
5:31 pm
Montreal13

it is !
5:34 pm

have a great day all and ty abmoraz for your patience - bye all
